Estrangement

Together, the buds fought with each other
for sun's warm light.
But as time passed by they got used to each other,
growing close.

Blossoming into beautiful flowers with the grace
of the sun's rays,
they danced in the wind and got wet
when the clouds hid the sun.

One day a new leaf hid a bud away from the other
and from the sunlight.
The other bud tried to move away the leaf,
but all efforts went in vain,
and the bud cried many tears.

They once fought for sunlight,
but now the sun's warmth felt incomplete
without the other bud to share it.
